Thx John. I will listen from time to time myself too.

Thx John, I believe I still have it on audiocassette someplace. I'm not sure if you knew about what Craig is doing today or even interested but there was a thread awhile back on his most recent teachings and here is the webpage.

What was their actual change? I must have missed it.

Vaguely, yes. Just like it was wrong to wear a cross, or have a crucifix. It was carnal thinking with very little if ever consideration for what's in a person's heart and soul.

Right. Guess they first need to publicly acknowledge that the original teaching was error; and I can't remember if they ever did that with anything.

That was nice, thank you!

The TWI definition of it doesn't make sense to me anymore. What does make sense to me is that the unforgivable sin is self-inflicted, i.e., you come to a point that you never seek repentence, never ask God for forgiveness for your sins, so hardhearted that it's a self-imposed destiny.

The scripture itself above refutes Branham's belief. What I remember: the original sin as taught by VPW was masterbation (CFS class). Sometime later, Craig said that Eve had a lesbian relationship with the serpent who appeared to her as a beautiful woman, but I don't recall if he ever said anything about that producing fruit? I don't think so; I think that also was in the context of the original sin. The seed of the serpent teaching of VP (the unforgivable sin) was a person confessing satan as their god, thereby getting born again of the devil's seed, thereby making it impossible after that to get saved. That alone does contradict other scriptures and promises of God of what happens when people repent and ask God for forgiveness.
